| Registered today and sent check to Johnny. Looking forward to my 7th Syncro Solstice. I hope to get down to Moab earlier in the week. I have a new canoe to pick up in Moab and hope to get some time on the Colorado River. |

It happened to me to, I had to drop some merchandise! I tried to order the westy rock poster. Once I let go of that, I was registered! |

Thanks, looking forward to it!

I'm registered this year. I just stopped by last year for a quick visit and was van-less the year before so I am looking forward to again--in a syncro no less.
Are there some people getting there 2-3 days early that want to get in some bonus exploring. I like the relaxed home based camping at Lone Mesa, but my favorite time in Moab is exploring new trails and finding outrageous campsites where other campers fear to tread.
My schedule is pretty flexible but would be up for a multi-day trail ride to Moab or a couple extra days of exploring around Moab before SS. Anyone already got something interesting planned, or want to?

Registered. We'll likely be at SS through Saturday only, but may arrive in the Moab area as early as Thursday mid-day. So I'll keep on eye on this thread to see if there's any Pre-Solstice happenings. It's been a few years since our last appearance–looking forward to it.

I'm registered and really looking forward to experiencing Moab for the first time.
I'll be driving out from california to denver, working the week, and then heading down on thursday or friday depending on work. Would be cool to caravan down with others if possible.
mine is 2wd so I'll be taking it easier, but here's some inspiration for the insane

Looking forward to seeing everybody. I am hoping to get there midday on Friday.

Boo, the Nelson clan will not make this years solstice 
Have fun out there. I am jealous!
Some images from solstices past (man, that place makes for nice photos!)
I may swing by next year (in our some-day-to-arrive 4x4 sprinter  )

I'm signed up for 4 campers in my little tintop...
Is there room for tent campers with all the vans there?
Looking forward to meeting everyone! |

Me too. My van's main seal has finally (most likely) gone completely bust. A recent 600-mile Cinco de Mayo road trip led to major spot marking. 
Will try for next year! Have fun everyone!

| If you decide to "back road" over wolf creek pass then through Durango, stop by and have a beer. Or crash in the yard and caravan with us on Friday. |

I will be leaving in a couple hours headed for here. The cold storm is coming earlier than expected and we already have some rain in Utah County. It might make going to this location a real adventure!  I plan to camp here until Thursday and then head over to Lone Mesa Group Campground.
If any of you are coming early, this is a great place to camp.
